Hi Doug
It should still be very easy to verify with certainty which day the call was made.
If it was actually Oct 31 then the Nov 1 memories must be the result of bad recollections, confusion, and incompetence, by people other than Raffaele and Amanda. Exactly the kind of thing that pro guilters argue innocent people never do.
If it was actually Nov 01, then the caller's claims and his reasons for making those claims , plus the police reasons for accepting the claims, should be questioned, IMO.

Hi
Codyjuneau,
After reading your postings,
I went and found MichaelB's post on this:
Anyways on to some new info.
Deposition of Alessando Capasso: He made a statement together with Stefanai Tommasi. He states that he is was responsible for the prank call. He had a €100 bonus for his cell phone credit and so he would make prank calls. On 31-Oct-2007 he was in a Pizzeria named Ghiottone with his friends to celebrate Halloween and they called various numbers including 075/451595 from his mobile (which was shown to the Police) at 21:48. He remembers saying "be careful because you've got a bomb in your toilet".
The odd thing is the date in the deposition for the prank call is Oct 31 even though Lana says she received it on Nov 1 and the cops turned up. Deposition states he showed his phones call log to the cops when he made his statement. So there's a discrepancy.

Thanks to Teddy IIP for helping read all of these.
The dude crank called Elisabetta Lana's flat at 9:48 pm on Halloween.
That's Oct. 31st, as you noted, and so does the dudes deposition!
What gives?!?
Re-reading Murder in Italy, pages 51-54,
the cops came out to Elisabetta's place after she called them
after receiving a menacing call around 10:00pm, on Nov. 1st.
The Postal Police were there when her son Alessandro got home after his Mom called him too,
at 10:30pm, she was probably a little freaked out.
They did a sweep of the house and garden, in the dark,
and found no bombs.
The next morning,
it was Alessandro who found the 1st of Meredith Kercher's cell phones.
He did so as he chatted with his girlfriend,
who had called as he had breakfast with his Mom.
I'll quote a passage from
Murder in Italy:
Felling the need for a little privacy, Alessandro went outside. He strolled around the half-acre garden, enjoying the crisp morning air and talking on the phone. Around 9:00am an object caught his eye. He stopped to look. He saw a light colored Motorola, flipped over, its keyboard resting on the ground. It was in the middle of the lawn, less than 60 feet from the wooded Via Andrea de Perugia , which wound uphill from the cottage.
Alessandro scooped up the phone, went into the house and showed it to his mother, who thought one of the officers might have lost it during the previous night's search. Again, she called the Postal Police. They asked her to bring the phone to their office. So Elisabetta dropped it into a plastic bag and took the phone to the station. She signed a statement at 11:31am, left matters in the hands of the cops, and headed for a nearby market to pick up groceries.
Neither she nor anyone in her family ever heard that phone ring.
At 11:50am, the Postal Police called Elisabetta from the station. "Do you know a Filomena?" they asked, because police had removed a Vodaphone SIM card from the phone and traced it back to its buyer, Filomena Romanelli, on Via della Pergola. Filomena, it turned out later, had loaned an extra phone of hers to Meredith to make local calls.
Codyjuneau,
you always been 1 to question the Bomb Threat.
it seems indeed there is something fishy about the threat and the Postal Police story,
as the dates and times do not jive.
Did the cops come out on Halloween to investigate the Bomb Threat?
Or did they come out on the night of Nov. 1st to check it out?
Weird...
